An exterior door handle for a vehicle particularly for an activation of an electric lock of the vehicle comprising:

Exterior door handle for a vehicle

A vehicle door handle assembly with a sensor device for detecting an actuation is provided. A handle of the handle assembly has a section which can be gripped from behind and an outer wall that delimits an interior in which an electronic sensor device is arranged and fixed. The handle section is formed with a reduced outer wall thickness in an actuation region and has a deformability that is increased with respect to the remaining sections of the handle. The outer wall thickness is reduced solely on the outer wall face oriented towards the interior. The handle outer wall inner face oriented towards the interior is coated with a metal layer at least in the actuation region. The electronic sensor device comprises at least one inductive distance sensor which lies opposite the metal layer in the interior of the handle to detect a deformation of the opposing outer wall.

Door handle assembly for a motor vehicle

The present invention relates to an exterior door handle () for a vehicle () particularly for an activation of an electric lock () of the vehicle () comprising:

A vehicle door handle with a handle component is provided. The handle component includes a hollow body, and an inductive sensor device is arranged in a cavity in order to detect an actuation of the handle component. A support having a support fastening section and a self-supporting section connected to the latter are arranged in the cavity, wherein the support fastening section is secured to the vehicle door handle, and wherein the self-supporting section of the support extends in the interior of the cavity at a distance from the wall surfaces of the handle component such that the self-supporting section of the support is mechanically decoupled from the wall surfaces of the handle component. The inductive sensor device is held in the self-supporting section, wherein a metallic material is arranged in at least one section of those wall surfaces of the handle component which surround the self-supporting section.

The invention relates to a tank module for a motor vehicle, with a housing in which a recess is provided, wherein a connecting element is arranged in the recess, a protective element for the connecting element, which can be moved between at least two positions, namely: a rest position in which the recess can be closed by the protective element, and an operating position in which the recess can be released by the protective element so that the connecting element is exposed, the protective element having an outer surface, and at least one sensor for detecting an activation action of a user to transfer the protective element between the rest position and the operating position, wherein the protective element is mounted in such a way that the outer surface of the protective element in the rest position and the outer surface of the protective element in the operating position are aligned parallel to one another.

Tank module

The invention relates to an access system () for a vehicle (), in particular for activating an electric lock () of the vehicle (), comprising:

Access system for a vehicle

The invention relates to a door handle () for a vehicle door () of a vehicle with a tension means (), wherein the tension means () can in particular be mechanically operatively connected with a detachable cover element (), and a container element (), wherein the container element () is situated inside of the door handle (), and designed to accept a functional element () of the door handle ().

Door handle of a vehicle with a tension means

A vehicle door handle includes a sensor assembly for detecting an operation request. The door handle is fixed and actuates an electric lock. The sensor assembly includes a first capacitive sensor arranged in the door handle and oriented towards an inner side of the handle. It monitors a first handle section gripped when actuating the handle. Second and third sensors are arranged along an axial extension of the handle. The second sensor is oriented towards an outer side of the handle and monitors a touching from the outer side in a second handle section. The third sensor is oriented towards the inner side of the handle and monitors a touching from the inner side. The electronic control and evaluation device generates an opening signal when both the capacitive sensor detects a gripping of the door handle and the second sensor and the third sensor simultaneously each detect a touching.

The invention relates to a door handle () for a vehicle door of a motor vehicle, with a removable cover element (), in particular for covering a lock cylinder (), wherein the lock cylinder () is provided for unlocking and locking a door lock, and wherein the cover element () can be transferred between at least two positions (I, II), specifically a covered position (I), in which in particular the lock cylinder () is covered by the cover element () so as to be inaccessible from the outside, and an open position (II), in which in particular the cylinder lock () is uncovered by the cover element (), and a tension means () for actuating the door lock, wherein the tension means () can be mechanically operatively connected with the cover element () in the open position (II) of the cover element (), so as to actuate the door lock by pulling on the cover element (). It is also possible to initially detach the tension means from the cover element, for example by undoing a corresponding connection between the tension means and cover element, such as a form- and/or force fitting connection, clip and/or clamp connection, bayonet connection or the like, and then initiate the opening process directly on the tension means. To this end, the invention proposes that a triggering device () be provided for the cover element (), so as to automatically transfer the cover element () into the open position (II), in particular in an emergency situation.

Door handle with removable cap

A vehicle door handle assembly includes an actuating element, which is actuated by a user gripping the handle from behind. The actuating element protrudes outward through a recess in the handle from an inner cavity through a wall of the handle over an outer contour of the handle. The actuating element is movable through the recess in the direction of the handle inner cavity against an elastic restoring force. The actuating element is at least in sections made of a metal. Located inside the handle is a stationary electric module with an inductive distance sensor so that when the actuating element moves, the distance of the actuating element in relation to the inductive distance sensor changes. An evaluation unit detects the signals of the inductive distance sensor, detects an actuation as a function of the signals, and provides an output signal.

The invention relates to a handle device () for a lock unit () for a movable door () or the like on a vehicle, comprising a handle part () which is movably mounted relative to a door () of the vehicle and which can be displaced between a rest position (Ia) and an operating position (Ib,c), the handle part () being flush with the exterior of the door () in the rest position (IA) and projecting from the exterior of the door () in the operating position (Ib,c). The handle part () can be actuated to open the door () when in the operating position (Ib,c). An actuating unit () is used to transfer the handle part () at least from the rest position (Ia) to a first operating position (IB). According to the invention, the actuating unit () is pivotably mounted.

Handle device having a mechanical return mechanism

A door handle for motor vehicles includes a handle body and a cover which cooperate to form a handle for a user. An accommodating space for electronic components is formed between the handle body and the cover. A capacitive proximity sensor is arranged in the space. The sensor has an active capacitive face directed towards the cover for detecting approaching movements. The capacitive face is coupled to an evaluation circuit which detects changes in the capacitance of the capacitive face. A sealing element composed of a closed-cell foam is located in the space. The sealing element has at least one continuous opening spaced from an edge. The opening is located above the active face of the proximity sensor and is compressed between the cover and the handle body with the result that at least one area above the active face of the sensor is free of foam.
